Small visitor center and extensive riverine preserve on the Mississippi floodplain — prime for birds, marsh reflections, boardwalks and seasonal wildflowers. Best at sunrise and golden hour for warm light on birds and water; spring and fall migration peak for species. Accessible trails, plenty of parking, restrooms; free entry (donations welcome). Weekdays and early mornings reduce crowds.
